This theater is a small cinema that serves mostly the local neighborhoods. The tickets cost $6-$8.50 which is a bit more reasonable compared to larger theaters.

The cinemas are small but still comfortable. The seats are in good condition and the screens are of average quality. Not much to be said about the sound systems in use, but they are adequate. One thing which is notable is that the moviegoers are very respectable and are there to watch movies and not talk or goof around in the theater. Not to mention that the staff has always been very nice and helpful.

Lines move quickly for concessions. There is good selection in terms of snacks and the prices are decent. One thing to make sure of is to go early. This theater does not usually show movies after 9PM so if you are a night owl, you'll probably not even look at the times until it's too late.

I give this theater an A and highly recommend it for anyone in Davie, FL.

This theater is located in the downtown area of Fort Lauderdale. It is pretty busy a few nights of the week and on the weekends and parking can be hard to come by. Fortunately, this theater will validate you parking lot ticket so the parking is free if you watch a movie.

The ticket counter is located inside directly next to the entry. The pricing is about average, $7-$9 depending on any applicable discount.

The times I've been here, there has been little to no line at the concession counter. They offer a good variety of snacks and beverages. The pricing is a bit high for these snacks, though.

The cinemas are pretty clean and the seats are comfortable. The screens are good quality and projection is clear. The audio system in use is good but not spectacular. It is easy to enjoy a movie here.

The patrons to this theater have been both good and bad. In more cases I have been able to enjoy a movie uninterrupted by disruptive viewers.

Overall I give this theater a B and I recommend it to moviegoers in the Ft. Lauderdale area.
